Astrology of Today – November 30, 2014

Summary:

Our imaginations may be overactive and interfere with rational decision making and perceptions today. We are not seeing things for what they are, and not necessarily communicating clearly either.

The Moon is in Pisces until 8:13 PM EST.

The Moon is void from 3:47 PM to 8:13 PM EST.

The Moon is in Aries from 8:13 PM EST forward (until Wednesday, December 3rd, at 12:14 AM EST).

The Moon is in its First Quarter phase.

Horoscopes

Aries

General disarray and a lack of clear routine can disrupt your thinking and possibly your good mood if you let it, dear Aries. While the drive may not be with you today, resolve to put more order into your life. Enjoy drama through movies or books (the harmless way), and avoid it in real life, as it’s likely to drain rather than energize you. With the Moon in your privacy sector today, you’re likely to crave more time to yourself. This evening, the Moon enters your sign, and previously unacknowledged feelings can rush to the surface.

Taurus

The likelihood of misunderstandings on social or romantic levels is strong right now, dear Taurus. Wishful thinking could confuse your perceptions of others’ intentions, for example. There can be exaggeration, deception, or other “unrealities” in what you are hearing and seeing. With boundaries so blurred, circumstances can be confusing, disorienting, and ultimately disappointing. Otherwise, this is a generally favorable time for activities that help you to focus on your happiness goals rather than responsibilities. By this evening, you’re more likely to want to withdraw into yourself and avoid too much activity/noise.

Gemini

Perceptions today can be driven by wishful thinking or the opposite – fear. Either way, dear Gemini, they’re not especially based on reality, so while you can certainly indulge in some fantasy, try not to make important, life-changing decisions based on your current perceptions. Also keep in mind that others may not be revealing the whole story. Confusing situations can reign when it comes to reputation or career matters, as well as partnerships and negotiations. It’s not ideal energy for presenting ideas or being completely understood.

Cancer

This can very well be a very creative day, dear Cancer, but when it comes to practical affairs, keep your wits about you. To some degree, you are more easily deceived on social and romantic levels as well. There can be restlessness, a tendency to misplace items, possible misjudgment of time, and work challenges/confusion today. Double-check work, and try to schedule appointments for a clearer day, if possible. For the most part, however, you are able to lift your spirits and attention above everyday problems. You can just as well tune into broader, bigger feelings, ideas, and visions.

Leo

There can be a strong desire to analyze your feelings today, dear Leo, but others may not be as interested in setting things straight, or they simply don’t know the answers. You are unlikely to have all the information necessary to make important decisions. Conversations can circle and get nowhere. As such, you might resolve to simply live in the moment and take care of business at a later date. There is fair energy for love relationships and personal attraction today, but confusing situations can emerge, particularly when it comes to personal boundaries, others’ feelings, and financial matters.

Virgo

Someone could be pushing for an answer or a commitment right now, dear Virgo, but you may prefer to just let things flow or evolve naturally, and you’ll need to communicate this firmly. Even so, it can be difficult to muster up enough sternness to do so at the moment. Nevertheless, resolve to be clearer in the future. There can be chaotic elements to deal with on the homefront or with family, and possibly some confusion or conflict involving a partner and family. It doesn’t help that you are not feeling up to thinking hard or deeply about issues and you are distracted. Aim to enjoy imaginative activities, and be flexible in your schedule.

Libra

With the Moon in your solar sixth house now, dear Libra, you have a tendency to focus on flaws and inconsistencies in your life. However, attacking problems in an orderly fashion today may be challenging. Today is strong for intuition but distracting for more precise decisions and thinking. Mentally, there can be some laziness and distractedness, or you could be very interested and curious about something, but others are vague and confusing. Try not to stretch the truth. Schedules can be chaotic, and you’re likely to be looking out for an escape route – seek out a healthy one!

Scorpio

When it comes to money, romance, and friends, there can be confusing and chaotic energy today, dear Scorpio. Misunderstandings are very possible, and people could be misconstruing not only what’s said, but what might be implied. There are times when we know we have been misunderstood, and we just let it go, but this is not a good time to do this, as there is a likelihood of something mushrooming from today’s conclusions. Self-deception or deception can be issues now. Watch today for taking risks with money, as there can be a tendency to neglect or ignore important details.

Sagittarius

It can be very challenging to get a point across today, dear Sagittarius. Watch closely for misrepresentation. Gossip could be part of the picture, and is unlikely to be correct! Something you say may be misconstrued, exaggerated, or relayed negatively. Wishful thinking or fear tend to drive perceptions, and either can take us far away from reality. The Moon’s movement into your creative/romantic sector this evening supports a more playful, outgoing mood, but the tendency for a lack of clarity is still with us.

Capricorn

Strongly imaginative days can be helpful, but there are times when your imagination doesn’t serve you well, dear Capricorn. Today is likely to be one of those times. It will be especially important to double-check your work, avoid making important decisions, and keep in mind that you may be misjudging time. Don’t set yourself up for disappointment today. Counting on something to happen is not the best idea right now. Otherwise, this can be a good day for creative writing and other arts. Your increased sense of the dramatic can spur creativity.

Aquarius

Very little is as it seems today, dear Aquarius. You may need to change your thinking on a matter, or alter your expectations. A small plan could fall through now, although it may be a temporary problem. Be a little more cautious with money, whether it’s lending or spending, if you are unable to save transactions for a better time. There can also be some confusing energy experienced with a friend, or there could be misleading news/information coming through acquaintances and networks. Otherwise, it’s a day for thinking up interesting new ideas and plans. The details can wait for a clearer time.

Pisces

There can be a sense that you can’t depend on someone today, dear Pisces, and it may be difficult getting a message across clearly. Part of the reason is that you don’t have a solid answer on a matter. A partner could be vague or not very responsive. If people are not getting you right now, you might consider rephrasing or adding details, but in all likelihood, you may prefer to keep things to yourself. Try not to worry if others are truly interested in your needs, as you are inclined to do now. They are likely wrapped up in their own problems. Emotions are strong today, and while there may be a general lack of clarity around you, some emotions coming through to you now are powerfully clear.

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on November 30th:

Note that when an aspect is Applying, it has not yet happened but is within orb – it’s pending. When an aspect is Separating, it has already happened/perfected and is moving away from the aspect. Depending on the speed of the planet/body involved, the aspect will have perfected, or will perfect, in a matter of hours (often the case with the Moon), days, months, and possibly years in the case of the very slow-moving outer planets and bodies.

Note that the Moon moves at a rate of approximately one degree every 2 hours, so that if an aspect involving is applying and has an orb of 5 degrees, the aspect will perfect (be exact) in about 10 hours. If the Moon is separating from an aspect with an orb of 2 degrees, it has already formed said aspect approximately 4 hours ago (since the following are positions at noon today, then it would have occurred at about 8 AM today).

**I suggest paying close attention to applying aspects. The energy of the aspect builds as it gets closer to exact. Once an aspect has happened, it’s over. Separating aspects are good to know for context, but in terms of energy that is with us today, applying aspects are most important.
